* Macomb Sheriff deputies were called to Welts Drive in Mount Clemens at 2:43 a.m. on Wednesday for a domestic violence assault. According to the “911” call, a 25 year-old Mount Clemens woman phoned the Sheriff’s Emergency Operations Center to report that her boyfriend had a shotgun and she said she thought he was going to kill her.

Four deputies were dispatched to the call and managed to arrest the male as he ascended stairs to the second floor of the home. The girlfriend was locked in an upstairs bedroom. The shotgun was found on the lower floor of the home, and it was loaded with five rounds.

According to the woman, she argued with her 33-year-old boyfriend who retrieved a 12 gauge Benelli shotgun. As the two argued, he pointed the shotgun directly at her face and twice pulled the trigger. However, the gun only “clicked”. She ran up the stairs and locked herself in a bedroom and called 911. He was arrested and charged with felonious assault.
